\n
\n

The national Safe and Considerate Driving course is for car drivers who had a collision caused by a lapse in concentration or error of judgement, but where the consequences were not serious.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is offered as an alternative to punishment for drivers and riders who police feel can be motivated to make better driving decisions and avoid future potentially more serious mistakes through advice and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike our other NDORS courses, the SCD course includes an element of practical, in-vehicle coaching as well as theory. But it\u2019s all delivered to the same engaging and informative standard by TTC\u2019s expert and knowledgeable trainers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SCD course is part of the National Driver Offender Retraining Scheme (NDORS) which is licensed by UKROEd. It is a behavioural change course for people who been involved in a collision, which increases awareness and understanding of the causes and negative consequences of risky and inconsiderate driving.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Read what other drivers thought about attending one of our SCD courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

The on-road coach was great with both of us, and I had quite an enjoyable relaxed drive. The drive lasted about 2 hours each with a short break and took in a verity of roads.  Definitely better than getting points.<\/p>\nAndrew, Safe & Considerate Driving Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The course made you ‘think’ and highlighted the difference between what you thought and what was fact…. I would encourage anyone to attend a course. It could make you a more considerate and safer driver.<\/p>\nJune, Safe & Considerate Driving Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The safe and considerate driving course provided by TTC is excellent. Very informative both in the classroom and on the road. You will be surprised what you learn. I had developed a few bad driving habits I wasn’t aware of. Highly recommended.<\/p>\nHelgi, Safe & Considerate Driving Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

TTC\u2019s trainers were excellent, very friendly, and informative, the course also gave me a whole new look at my driving habits, which has helped me to hopefully become a much more considerate and careful driver, many thanks.<\/p>\nAnthony, Safe & Considerate Driving Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The trainer was excellent in his delivery and teaching ability. The course itself was very well put together and as a result, I am applying much of what I have been taught in my driving to make me a better and more considerate driver.<\/p>\nPhilip, Safe & Considerate Driving Course<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
